Brexit latest: Theresa May asked to 'stand down' during LBC phone

The focus now is entirely on Theresa May and whether or not she can survive further ministerial resignations and a possible no-confidence motion being tabled against her.

Mrs May's appearance came as speculation continued that Michael Gove will be the next minister to resign over her Brexit deal after reportedly turning down the job of Brexit Secretary. But that is still something that will be debated over the next few weeks.

"The Department of Health is ensuring it is making all the steps if we go to no-deal". That opens a move towards 1.2500 which is a key psychological level for the time being.

If a confidence vote is held and May loses, it would trigger a party leadership contest in which any Conservative lawmaker - except her - could run.

She said: "The pound could edge lower still before the weekend if the storm of Brexit controversy continues".

Under Conservative rules, a confidence vote in the leader is triggered if 15 percent of Conservative lawmakers - now 48 - write a letter to the party's 1922 Committee of backbenchers, which oversees leadership votes.

Striking a defiant tone, she laid down the gauntlet to Tory Eurosceptics over her Brexit deal today - warning that she is a "bloody hard woman".

On Friday, it was not clear whether Michael Gove, the most prominent Brexit-supporting minister in her government, would stay on as environment minister after May offered him the job of Brexit minister, British newspapers reported.

In a phone in on LBC Radio, Mrs May admitted she had "concerns" about the Irish border "backstop" - but insisted the overall package was the best thing for the UK.

Her Conservative government doesn't have a parliamentary majority, and relies on the support of the Democratic Unionist Party from Northern Ireland.

"This is an issue that I feel personally - as it happens my insulin is produced by a company in the EU, Denmark, so I know this is an issue that's a matter of importance to people".

'I truly believe this is the best deal, ' she added. "Yes", May emphasized, pledging to focus on bringing back a deal that "delivers on the vote of the British people".

At least 23 people have lost their lives in and around the community of 27,000, according to an official count by authorities. As noted, a forest fire in the area of the state was the most deadly since when began keeping such statistics.

The latest leak comes from frequent phone tipster Evan Blass , who has a track record of sharing info on upcoming Samsung phones . Samsung expects Exynos 9820 to be in mass production by the end of 2018.

That hasn't been the case at all, though, as Carmelo Anthony has been a negative to the team when he's been on the floor. Anthony, who is in his 16th season, has averaged 13.4 points and 5.4 rebounds in 10 games with two starts this season.
